When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2.Read and follow the specific “PRECAU-

TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on inside front cover.

3.This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See

“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 3.

4.Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

5.Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers —for example, closed glass jars — are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven.

6.Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7.As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

8.Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9.This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.

10.Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11.Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.

12.Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13.Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

15.See door surface cleaning instructions on page 14.

16.To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a.Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b.Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c.If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d.Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the cavity when not in use.

17.Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a.Do not overheat the liquid.

b.Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

c.Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.

d.After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.

e.Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

18.If the oven light fails, consult a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

any damage, such

 

 

as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose

door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven

You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation. Do not place or install the oven in any area where heat and steam are generated; for example, next to or above a conventional gas or electric range or above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam may damage the electronics or the mechanical parts of the oven.

G R O U N D I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15

amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and

grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.

A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becom-

ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension Cord

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Notes:1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

2.Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR OVEN

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. See page 16 for ordering the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.

NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%,

you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 700 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure.
